40 “UNO, Chapter X, Arts. 61-72. The UN Charter, apart from “regional agencies“ speaks of “specialized agencies” (Arts. 57, 63, 70), “having wide international responsibiliites in economic, social, cultural, educational, health and related fields,” which “shall be brought into relationship with the UN.” The “Interim Agreement,” adopted by the San Francisco Conference (The New York Times, June 27,1945, p. 14), gives to the Preparatory Commission of the UN in London also (Point 4, D) the task of “examining the problems involved in the establishment of the relationship between specialized intergovernmental organizations and agencies and the organization.“
